Re: WB Game Day V Collingwood R14 2019
How can you be held by the leg, directly in front of an umpire and not get a free?

Williams been solid, R. Smith looks like a deer in the headlights though.

Pissing about with the *!*!*!*!ing football in defence is not on. We had so many chances to clear that football then.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

Why use one kick when fourteen handballs will do?

Nobody reads our aimless lollipops forward better than Roughy.
Nobody.

Re: WB Game Day V Collingwood R14 2019
It’s hard to get enthused by this.. there’s a solid level of effort (which should be a given) and our mids get thousands of touches, but we aren’t fun to watch.
Change needs to occur.

Naughts has had a dirty day but would love our mids to have more faith in going long to him. He's rarely outmarked and is excellent at ground level.

The best thing about Sunday twilight games is there's very little of the weekend left to stew.

6 more scoring shots. We are our own worst enemy .

Re: WB Game Day V Collingwood R14 2019
Well with a bit of scoreboard pressure earlier in the game we could have won that.
Sure, as soon as a goal is kicked the ball goes back to the centre and an area the Pies were dominating, but the pressure scoring creates counts for a lot.
Really disappointing that we continue to be so poor with our goal kicking. The Smith and Suckling misses in the second were disgraceful, but perfect examples of what is wrong with our goal kicking. Both attitude and technique are clear issues and it isn't good enough that professional sportsman can serve that rubbish up.

Re: WB Game Day V Collingwood R14 2019
Surely Dickson is well and truly cooked. Roarke Smith is nowhere near this level and never has been.
this was lost at selection. Would have been nice having a player like Toby in that forward line.

We've put up with it for years and across several coaches. Why give up now?
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

It's almost as though effort is more than enough for the coaching group.
We lose the same way every time, so either the players are as thick as planks or the coaching group has developed a game plan that is specifically designed to narrowly fail most weeks.
